I have liked "ヒカルの" for more than ten years and have watched the original work countless times. I have always wanted to write a serious fanfic, but I have never dared to do so. I'm afraid that if I write it badly, it will damage Taya's image, because Taya is probably my favorite virtual character. Therefore, the article is posted here, firstly, to seek improvement, and secondly, to find a like-minded person. After all, there must be very few people who care about such an early work. It would be great if we can find people who are speculating on it.
The article begins in 2005, three years after the end of the Beidou Cup. At this time, Shindo Hikaru and Taya Ryo were 18 years old, and the others had aged accordingly. The heroine is set to be 16 years old, and the rest of the details are explained in detail in the article, so I won't go into details here. In addition, the major and minor chess games, public events, popular elements, location routes, etc. That appear in the article are all real events in the corresponding year. Except for a few cases where the time of occurrence has been changed due to the needs of the article, the background of the event remains unchanged. Because of this, the content involved in the conversations of the characters in the article sometimes feels quite ancient, and readers are advised not to feel that there is a time difference. Most of the chess players, students, and other related people who appear in the article are quoted from the original work of "Chess Soul: Chess of Light", and a small part are original works by me.
So, if you accept the above, please start reading, thank you!
